Oregon-Davis students will soon be getting new digital devices. The school board Monday approved a lease with Apple that will provide new iPads to students at all grade levels, according to Superintendent Dr. Don Harman. “We’re just in that rotation that we’ve had our devices for four years,” he explains, “and now the lease is up and we need to redo a lease for another three to four years.”
Harman says the school corporation explored different choices, and decided that new iPads were the best option for students for the price. “It would be a cost of $60, which is embedded into our instructional fees for each student,” he says. “We are not planning to raise our instructional fees at all. That’s what a lot of people think of as your book fees. We have no intention of raising those.”
Under the new lease, staff members will get an iPad and a MacBook.
